Big Boob Blog

cosmeticsjunkiee1 Comment

Yes, you read that one right.  I am talking big over the shoulder boulder holders, knockers, boobies, melons, globes and eh… tits – I have heard them all.  As a curvier gal, I have had to adapt my life to the bigger chest area and it hasn’t been as amazing as you might think.

For as long as I can remember I always was the girl in class with the bigger breasts, or at least one of the girls.  I am pretty certain I went from an age 8 girls vest to a size 30D.  I was wearing a bra in Primary School long before anyone else knew what a bra was, other than something that hung on your mother’s washing line.  Fast forward 15 years and I’m crawling around in a 34GG wishing I was 11 with the 30D (yes… 11)

Those with smaller boobs always say ‘God you are so lucky’ and I am like ‘REALLY?’  While yes, of course they have their upside they most certainly have their downside too.  You have to think about the back pain and the teeny tiny tops that your breasts will never fit into.  Living in jealousy that your upper body will never look as thin because of the pillows attached to the chest.  Dealing with your back breakers have to be considered into every day life so if you have big boobs or indeed little boobs then read along for why it’s important to find the right bra.

Get FITTED!

Approximately 80% of women wear the wrong bra!  Who knows, you might be one of the 80% – have you been fitted?  Those women that offer you help when you are buying bras are there to help, not catch a glimpse!

They’ll fit your bra to suit you and give you advice.  It’s important to get fitted everytime you go underwear shopping, especially if you are shopping in different stores.  From personal experience I have found that in one brand I am one size and a totally different size in another.

A bra is designed to give your breast support and to keep them comfortable throughout the day.  Not only is wearing a bra important but you have to make sure that the bra fits you properly.  A good bra stops sagging (I hate that word) because they are so heavy which helps them to keep their shape and keeps them higher for longer!  Stops them from bouncing around all over the place, knocking people out.  Think of your bra like a hammock, something nice and comfortable for them to lie in.  They are more comforting and supportive than any man will ever be.  No man has ever cared for me like my bras have.  Having a good fitting bra also makes your clothes look better and more flattering, no matter the size you are.

That being said as comfy as they are supposed to be, it’s seriously liberating whipping that bra off after a hard days work and throwing it across the room.

My favourite places to shop for bras are http://www.bouxavenue.com and http://www.debenhams.com  They have a huge range available for the majority of sizes and a great selection of styles.  Once you start buying nice underwear however, it is highly addictive – be warned.

PS, A push up bra with bigger boobs? Forget about it.

The Boob Chronicles

My boob once knocked my hot chocolate out of my hand when I was running for the bus and it spilled down me.

I took my bra off on the bus once because I couldn’t wait til I got home.

A shirt button actually pinged off and darted across the floor while I was in a job interview.

If I roll over in bed too quickly one boobs slaps off the other.  It sounds like a walrus slapping off the ground.

I don’t have enough hands to count the amount of times my boobs have popped out of a bikini.

I have to wear two sports bras when I work out.  Twice a year.

I was elbowed in the boob yesterday and I still feel the pain today.

I haven’t seen my toes in 13 years.

After every cinema outing, I come home and take my top and bra off and the equivalent of a small salted popcorn falls out.

 

You Should Go And Love Yourself

cosmeticsjunkiee1 Comment

Straight from the mouth of Justin Bieber himself, ‘you should go and love yourself.’

SELF LOVE IS IMPORTANT

Let’s start with what it would mean for YOU, as you are the most important person to yourself, or at least you should be.  Always look after number one and unfortunately it took me a very long time to realise that.  To me, there is nothing more upsetting than someone who doesn’t like themselves or has issues regarding something to do with them as I know how it feels and I know how it weighs you down.  I’m not saying that it’s always a depression state of mind, but feeling like this can affect how you act and whether you do certain things.

It’s okay to tell yourself that you’re beautiful, that you believe in yourself and that you love yourself.  That you love your stretch marks, they make you you.  That you love your crooked teeth, they make you you.  That you don’t tan naturally and you are the kind of girl that sits smothered in SPF 50 under an umbrella on holidays, that makes you you.  That you have a birth mark, that makes you you – the list goes on.

Every single thing about you you should learn to accept them and I swear to you as soon as you do, your life will take form and you will see everything in a new light.  For myself, I learned to love the positive and the negative things about me because as I said that is what makes me me.  I had to learn how to take the good with the bad and accept it all for who I am and learn to be okay with it.  Once I believed that I loved myself and accepted myself for who I am, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of confidence wash over me that made me feel like I could do anything – I’m telling you, super empowering stuff.

24331732_151335775504545_5226091419516534784_n(1)

I am not saying that it’s The Law of Attraction or anything, but I can’t help but feel that when I changed my opinion on myself that my life took a little turn around for the best.  I mean really changed my opinion, not just waking up one day and saying ‘Yep, I am fabulous! Show me what you got world?’  So if you are feeling a little down on yourself I urge you to take a second look.  Then take a third look and truly see how beautiful you are and I promise you, you will notice change in yourself and your life.

I am curious to what others think about this as I am aware it may come across a little on the hippy side which is not what I intended.  Do you like yourself, love yourself?  Do you walk around with confidence in yourself?  Don’t get me wrong, I am not painfully optimistic and positive or anything and don’t mean to shove it at you.  I just think that confidence is key and the key to confidence is LOVE YOURSELF.
